Parking

Parking for patients and visitors is available in the lot directly in front of the hospital’s main entrance and Emergency entrance. Parking is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All parking is free. Patients and visitors are strongly encouraged not to park in restricted areas, as these are designed for patient pick up or for emergencies. If you feel you need an escort to your car after dark, please ask a staff member to call security for you.
